Examples

While the Configuration documentation contains all available options in detail, this page shows them in conjunction to provide different examples on how to display pydantic models and settings.

Default configuration

This example shows the default out-of-the-box configuration of autodoc_pydantic. In contrast, it also shows how standard sphinx autodoc displays the same example code.

pydantic settings ExampleSettings[source]

Document your project settings very conveniently. Applies like wise to pydantic models.

Fields
Validators
field field_plain_with_validator: int = 100

Show standard field with type annotation.

Validated by
field field_with_constraints_and_description: int = 5

Shows constraints within doc string.

Constraints
  • minimum = 0

  • maximum = 100

field field_with_validator_and_alias: str = 'FooBar' (alias 'BarFoo')

Shows corresponding validator with link/anchor.

Validated by
field field_without_default: str [Required]

Shows the [Required] marker in the signature.

validator check_max_length_ten  »  field_with_validator_and_alias, field_plain_with_validator[source]

Show corresponding field with link/anchor.

Complete configuration

This example represents a rendered output for which all features are enabled. It deviates from the default configuration above because it contains redundant information which is most likely not required. However, for demonstration purposes, this scenario covers all available display options for pydantic models/settings.

Fields only

In this scenario everything is hidden except actual pydantic fields. Validators and model/setting config is hidden.

pydantic settings ExampleSettings[source]

Document your project settings very conveniently. Applies like wise to pydantic models.

Fields
field field_plain_with_validator: int = 100

Show standard field with type annotation.

field field_with_constraints_and_description: int = 5

Shows constraints within doc string.

Constraints
  • minimum = 0

  • maximum = 100

field field_with_validator_and_alias: str = 'FooBar' (alias 'BarFoo')

Shows corresponding validator with link/anchor.

field field_without_default: str [Required]

Shows the [Required] marker in the signature.

Asterisk and root validators

This example highlights how asterisk (@validator('*')) and root validators (@root_validator) are represented. Since they validate all fields, their corresponding field reference is replaced with a simple all fields marker which hyperlinks to the related model itself.

pydantic model ExampleValidators[source]

Show usage of asterisk and root validators.

Show JSON schema
{
   "title": "ExampleValidators",
   "description": "Show usage of asterisk and root validators.\n\n    ",
   "type": "object",
   "properties": {
      "name": {
         "title": "Name",
         "type": "string"
      },
      "email": {
         "title": "Email",
         "type": "string"
      }
   },
   "required": [
      "name",
      "email"
   ]
}

Fields
Validators
field email: str [Required]
Validated by
field name: str [Required]
Validated by
validator check_contains_letters  »  all fields[source]

Confirm that string contains at least one letter.

validator check_non_whitespaces  »  all fields[source]

Confirm that string contains non whitespace characters.

Note

By default the function signature of validators is replaced with hyperlinks to validated fields by autodoc_pydantic. You can disable this behaviour via validator-replace-signature.
